He said, “BJP leaders Rampal Singh, Narottam Mishra, Arvind Bhadoria, Sanjay Pathak were going to distribute money to the MLAs. I think there will be 10-11 MLAs in the hotel.

By the time the two reached the hotel, all the legislators were sent elsewhere.
Digvijay Singh also reached the hotel on receiving information about the gathering of the MLAs, but he did not find any here. “They are all in the hotel and I am not allowed to go to the hotel. Although I have spoken to all the MLAs, everyone will come together in the morning,” he said. CM Kamal Nath also kept trying till late night to contact the MLAs present in Delhi.
BJP state president VD Sharma said, “Congress government is suffering from contradiction. The BJP has nothing to do with such developments, nor do we have any such efforts. Congress should worry about its home. Ask the Congress leaders why this is happening to them. ”At the same time, Leader of the Opposition Gopal Bhargava said – Congress has three parts, one of them (Scindia) is saying, I have no idea. This is the contradiction of the Congress.
Kamal Nath reacting to the development said, “Congress government is stable in the state. The BJP is scared because its 15-year-old ghettos are to be revealed in the coming time. Congress MLAs are telling me how much money they are being offered. If you are getting free money then take it.”
